Integrity isn't just about keeping promises; it's also about refusing work that doesn't align with your ethics. Your values are your moral compass in a world of complex decisions. Stick to them. 🧭 #Integrity #EthicalSoftware #10xEngineering

Neglecting integrity in software delivery can lead to harmful outcomes. From dark UI patterns to unethical business practices - we must remain vigilant. #EthicalSoftware #IntegrityFirst #10xEngineering

A lot of open source software is often marketed as being "ethical". Which is nice as a broad term, but I had no idea what that even means in the context of software.

So, I asked ChatGPT, and this is the response.

Does this sound right? #OpenSource #FOSS #FreeSoftware #EthicalSoftware https://chat.openai.com/share/2c06ecb6-5357-4447-88c6-d8410b1f9ed2

Some have suggested that we write new software licenses that would prohibit unethical use (as mentioned in the article above). See https://ethicalsource.dev/

In my opinion it is quite unlikely that such a software license would be more effective than the #GPL has been in protecting #SoftwareFreedom for those who use Red Star OS.

That is to say: not at all.

This open ended opinion piece (https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/01/foss_and_geopolitics/) from @ssharwood takes me back to Red Star OS (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_OS) and Red Flag Linux (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Flag_Linux).

If it is true that they are, or were, Red Hat Linux derivative distributions, they are based on the installer software I wrote when I worked there.

Of the two, reports of what Red Star OS is and does trouble me (personally speaking).
